    Just TRD with double sided tape. Nothing special, they are about the same just different size

    Na, I had it for the front grill but it got rusted. I high not recommend it. Don't want too many stickers or emblem on ride.

    Hmm well I have the front one in black. Was it hard to put on? Do you have to remove things on the top or bottom of the grill to tighten the nuts behind the emblem?

    Not really,straight forward. Just loosen the nut and install it. You might have to remove the top to tighten. If you decide to get it. Check for rust 6 months later.

    I washed and waxed mine the other day. I also applied Turtle wax jet black tire shine to my tires. It is about the best tire dressing Ive ever used. Yesterday I changed my oil with mobil 1 ep synthetic, rotated my tires and installed the euro stlye mudflaps. 2016-01-15 11.37.11.jpg

    Love your car bro!! That color is just awesome! Also like how you installed the center caps. I also like the turtle wax jet black for the tires. I waxed mine with a 12 month wax.

    Cool thanks. I love turtle wax products. I recently bought their new 12 sealant but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

    Funny thing for me, at this time in my life, having had my share of fast cars and motorcycles, I consider my prius my "adult" upgrade. I just like how reliable the car is. I am reluctant to do the "custom wheel" thing. All of my after market rim adventures wound up costing me more money than I ever wanted to spend on tires and rims. What kills you is the stress fractures that come up on the rims. If you lower a vehicle and put on bigger rims, the road just pounds the hell of the rims. The pounding causes really tiny cracks in the rims, which eventually become big cracks. So then you have to take the rims to a shop to have them welded and smoothed out. Do this more than 5 times per rim and you wind up having a set of rims that cannot be completely balanced. Then freeway driving becomes "vibration" city. I finally stuck with the stock rims that the prius comes with. If I do anything, I may buy 15" stock corolla steel rims and accessorizing them with moon center caps and beauty rings. I admire all those in here doing the custom rim thing. I don't want to disrespect those that still do it. Go for it!! Heck, I did!! Just ain't my thing anymore. I have really been thinking about doing it on my prius, but the cost, making sure the sensors are in replaced, clearance, curb bumps, wife parking lot mistakes, underside scrapes, stress fractures, been through that all and I just don't want to spend that time and expense at this point in my life........ But I still admire those doing it, it just makes cars look better!!!

    I think Toyota did a great job designing the stock 15s. When I took the wheel covers off everyone I worked with thought I installed custom wheels.
